Renara Akhoundova was born in Baku, Azerbaijan. Her mother is Russian and her father is Azerbaijan.
When she was 3 years old, Renara was like captivated by the keyboard and quite spontaneously started playing short melodies as if she were already an expert. Accordingly, her parents decided that she would attend a special school in Baku where super gifted children are provided with regular studies together with intense classical trainings of the musical instrument of their choice.
Renara stayed 11 years in this special school and, at each annual
time the Baku Conservatory was organizing examinations
she was awarded with the highest piano prize. That's how she was invited to perform, several times, at the Baku Philharmonic Hall and at the Conservatory Grand hall.
Having terminated her studies in Baku, she decided to settle in Moscow where she became a student at the Lomonosoff University. Though practicing the piano several hours per day, she became mastered in Economy and politics sciences.
Being attracted by Paris, which she visited several times while being a student, she decided, 15 years ago, to settle there after having been offered a job as a piano player during one of her visits.
She is convinced that Paris gives her piano interpretations more emotion and more sensitiveness than "You and me" is the title of her first album... it is also one of her
compositions which convey her deepest emotions about Love
between a man and a woman.
